HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

A solid, very good to excellent rose that just seems to have fallen out of favor like the sands through the hour glass. Its parents are still hugely famous and available: Miss All American Beauty and Fragrant Cloud....and this one inherited an amazing fragrance from Cloud and a somewhat thorny plant and tough olive green leaf from Beauty. It grows bolt upright unlike either and is more gentle of color than either and that is where I am stuck even writing this: it is a GOOD pink rose. But there are so MANY "good pink" roses...

I wonder if this variety’s quick descent into obscurity was hastened by its resemblance to First Prize. Friendship was probably better plant than First Prize, and certainly far more fragrant. But First Prize had those pin point centers and back then exhibitionists ruled the ratings. I’d love to try this one now, given that the parents are still two of my favs. Fragrant Cloud still outperforms almost all my new roses of any color, and her descendants seem to all do especially well here…I’m always searching for more of her kids. Miss AAB brings the neighbors from afar if you can keep the blackspot off her. (And even if you can’t you still get a few big gaudy gems on bare stems).
